5.1 The user is not permitted to make the access data used in the course of his registration accessible to third parties or to pass it on to third parties.
5.2 Zattoo uses technical measures to restrict the services regionally (geo-filtering). The user undertakes not to circumvent the technical measures used by Zattoo for this purpose. Concurrently, the user undertakes not to circumvent access control systems to paid content and/or to take other measures to use Zattoo or content on Zattoo without authorization.
5.3 The user undertakes not to post or distribute any content on Zattoo that violates legal regulations, official orders or is immoral.

5.4 The user may only use Zattoo for his own private purposes. In particular, the user may not allow third parties to access or use the services, e.g. an indefinite group of people by using the services in public areas, such as cinemas, theatres, exhibitions, showrooms, hotels, bars, restaurants or other public spaces. Receiving or redistributing the content as well as using the services in such spaces may violate the rights of third parties, in particular copyrights. Such violations can be prosecuted and lead to an extraordinary termination of the contract.
5.5 The user is not entitled to remove or obscure any copyright notices and/or notices regarding trademarks or other proprietary rights of Zattoo, companies affiliated with Zattoo or third parties.
5.6 The use of Zattoo may be reserved for persons who meet certain requirements (e.g. minimum age). The user is responsible for ensuring that the services are only available to persons who meet the requirements. In particular, the user undertakes to comply with the applicable provisions on the protection of minors from media content harmful to minors.
6.1 If the user accesses the Services via an app, in particular for a cell phone, tablet PC, smart TV, set-top box or streaming box, and has downloaded the app from the app store of a third party, i.e. regularly the manufacturer of the operating system of the device (the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad, the Google Play Store for Android devices or another app store), the terms and conditions of the respective app store shall apply additionally. In the event of any contradictions, these general terms and conditions of the respective app store shall take precedence.
6.2 The individual steps of booking paid services can be found in the descriptions within the app and/or in the app store of the third party.
6.3 In the case of apps, the provider of the respective app store can influence the available paid services, or their term or extension. Depending on the respective app store, paid services may expire at the end of the agreed term without requiring termination, or the respective contract term may be extended by a corresponding period or indefinitely. Details can be found in the respective offer description or the terms and conditions of the app store. In some cases, the app stores also offer options for terminating paid services, for example, via a menu item in the app store.
6.4 The payment systems shown when creating the quotes are accepted, which are usually operated by corresponding service providers. In particular, these can also be payment systems offered by the operators of the respective app store.

If required, the user must have a user account with the Service Provider.
6.5 The app is a copyrighted software program. The user receives a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to personal use. The user is not authorized to decompile, change or edit the app beyond the extent required by law.

Zattoo may use advertising media, e.g. when starting the service or switching to a TV channel. Such advertising can be targeted based on the information provided by the user and his use of the services, to the extent permitted by law.
Details on the processing and protection of the user's personal data by Zattoo can be found herein Zattoo's privacy policy.
9.1 The Services offered by Zattoo are digital products within the scope of § 327 (1) S. 1 BGB. In this respect, the user is entitled to Zattoo's statutory warranty claims for defects in the services of Zattoo. For any claims for damages by the user due to defects, the limitation of liability of Section 9.2 applies.
9.2 Zattoo shall only be limited to the following provisions: Zattoo shall be liable without limitation for damages caused by Zattoo or by its legal representatives, executives or ordinary vicarious agents intentionally or by gross negligence. Zattoo is not liable in cases of slightly negligent breach of only minor contractual obligations. With regard to the breach of contractual obligations (obligations whose compliance may be trusted by the contractual partner, or the fulfillment of which renders a correct execution of the contract in the first place), the liability of Zattoo for damages caused by slight negligence is limited to those damages, which must typically be expected to incur in the context of contractual relationship. This also applies to slightly negligent breaches of duty by Zattoo's legal representatives, executives or ordinary vicarious agents. The above limitation of liability does not apply in the case of fraudulent intent, injury to life, body and health, for breach of warranty and for claims arising from product liability.
9.3 The user undertakes to indemnify Zattoo, its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, executives, directors, employees, agents, suppliers or vicarious agents against all claims by third parties asserted against any or all of the aforementioned persons in connection with the user's breaches of his obligations under these GTC and/or the laws applicable to him. The user will pay all reasonable costs incurred by Zattoo, including reasonable costs incurred for legal defense. The user is free to prove that Zattoo actually incurred lower costs. The above indemnification obligation of the user does not apply if the user is not responsible for the violations.
10.1 Zattoo provides paid services with different terms. Unless otherwise stated in the respective offer description, the usage contract for the respective paid service shall initially run for the minimum usage period booked. Afterwards, the user agreement will be renewed for an indefinite period of time, unless terminated by the user or Zattoo more than 48 hours prior to the end of the minimum usage period with effect as of the end of such period. The user and Zattoo each have the right to terminate the extended usage contract at any time at the end of the current contract month. The termination of the paid service can be made in the user's account or by email to legal@zattoo.com, in case of termination by Zattoo to the email address provided by the user during registration. The right to extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected.
10.2 If the subject of the user agreement is only free services, the user agreement can be terminated by both the user and Zattoo with a period of notice of fourteen days by email to the email address legal@zattoo.com or the email address provided by the user during registration.
10.3 For users who have booked Zattoo via a third-party provider, especially in app stores, the termination conditions of the respective third-party provider shall apply. More information about termination with a third-party provider can be found here.
10.4 A good cause for the extraordinary termination of the user contract exists if the continuation of the contractual relationship until the expiry of the ordinary notice period is unreasonable, taking into account all circumstances of the individual case and the interests of the user. Important reasons for Zattoo are, in particular, the following events: violation of applicable law by the user; violation of essential contractual obligations by the user. A prior warning is not necessary.
10.5 In the event of an extraordinary termination of the user agreement by Zattoo for cause as well as a termination by the user, the reimbursement of any fees paid is excluded, unless the user gives extraordinary notice of termination for cause within the sphere of Zattoo.
11.1 The user is not authorized to transfer any rights or obligations arising from the contractual relationship to third parties. Zattoo is entitled to transfer the rights and obligations arising from the contractual relationship to a third party. Zattoo will inform the user in writing about the transfer. The user is entitled to an extraordinary right of termination at the time of the transfer of all rights and obligations to the third party. The termination notice must be received by Zattoo in writing within 14 days after receipt of the transfer notice by the user.
11.2 Zattoo reserves the right to change these GTC as far as the changes are reasonable for the user. Non-substantial changes, in particular those that serve to adapt these GTC to new technical developments, new legal regulations or new jurisprudence, or insofar as the change is necessary to reflect organizational changes, especially the order or payment process, are not reasonable. Further insignificant changes for equivalent reasons are also reserved. The change proposal will be communicated to the user by Zattoo in writing or by email. The changes will be considered approved if the user does not object to them in writing or by email. Zattoo will particularly point out this consequence in the notification letter. The objection of the user must be received by Zattoo within 6 weeks after receipt of the notice. If the user exercises his right of objection, the contract shall continue without the proposed changes to the GTC. Zattoo's right to terminate the contract remains unaffected. Significant changes to these GTC require the express consent of the user.
12.1 These GTC are subject to German law.
12.2 Information pursuant to § 36 of the Consumer Dispute Resolution Act: Zattoo is neither obligated nor willing to participate in any dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
This version of the GTC shall apply from October 12, 2023. This version replaces all previous versions of the GTC of Zattoo.
